Chapter 1051: Arranging Yanyan’s Downfall (4)
Time flew by, and just as September began, the resettlement housing was all set up, inside and out. After paying the village helpers their wages, Mo Yan sent a message to Qi Nan that very day, asking him to send back the three hundred soldiers.
Qi Nan held a position in the Jingji Army and normally could not leave his post without cause. Upon receiving the message, he hurriedly informed Xiao Ruiyuan, and soon, the Prince’s Mansion issued an order to the General managing Qi Nan, granting him a two-month leave.
While the time seemed ample, it wouldn’t be long before snow began to fall on the border, making travel difficult and dangerous. Qi Nan dared not delay. After reuniting with his family on a brief night visit, he rode swiftly toward the border the next day.
That very night, Xiao Ruiyuan arrived at the Mo Family’s residence, dust-covered and weary, and handed Mo Yan a small wooden box the size of a palm, filled with silver notes, each with a face value of one hundred. Altogether, there were at least ten thousand liang.
Mo Yan opened the box, glanced at it, and closed it again, teasing, "Is this your secret stash? What if it’s not as much as mine? How about I support you in the future?"
Xiao Ruiyuan took her seriously, his deep eyes sparkling with intense brightness, "This is from your cousin to you. My silver will be delivered to you tomorrow. From now on, you will support me."
Mo Yan glared, stunned. Did he mean to hand over his private funds to her now, and then have her support him as well? Had she misunderstood?
In her past life, this kind of situation might not have been rare, but in these times, a man supported by his wife would decidedly be scorned!
